According to Bild, the former Giallorossi player missed a training session, justifying his absence only after the end of the session.
This angered Xabi Alonso, who immediately decided to take him out of the squad. In the next few days, therefore, Azmoun will train individually.
In an interview, Simon Rolfes, Leverkusen sporting director, commented on the incident: 'We need to clarify what happened. It's not enough to do performance analysis, you also need to train. Yesterday it was there, today it wasn't. We'll see in the next few days.'

Roma enquire for Manchester United outcast Malacia
Roma are interested in signing Manchester United full-back Tyrell Malacia, reports from Italy claim, as the Giallorossi enquire for the Dutch defender during ongoing talks to bring Jadon Sancho to the Italian capital. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on X, the Giallorossi have made contact for Malacia and the Dutchman himself is keen on a move to Serie A. MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – MAY 28: Tyrell Malacia of Manchester United lies injured on the pitch during the Premier League match between Manchester United and Fulham FC at Old Trafford on May 28, 2023 in Manchester, England. (Photo by) Roma have asked the Red Devils about the feasibility of a deal for player, who spent last season on loan with Eredivisie side PSV. Malacia on fringes at United as Roma plot move Malacia, 26, joined the Premier League giants in 2022, when he was the first signing of former United boss Erik Ten Hag. Ten Hag, a compatriot of the player, moved ahead of rivals to sign the then-Feyenoord man but his time in the North of England has not quite worked out for him. After playing 39 times in all competitions in his first season at the club, the Dutchman would go on to suffer an injury which meant he played 0 minutes in the 2023-24 season. Malacia would then play eight games for United at the start of the 2024-25 season before he was sent on loan to PSV in February.
